Why we built JunkRabbit in Chicago
Chicago junk removal is dominated by a handful of national chains that charge a brand premium for a job dozens of local haulers already do for less. The problem was never supply. It was that you couldn't find the good local crews, compare them, or trust the price.
So we built the bridge. You send a photo; we identify every item and price it from real Chicago market data; vetted, insured haulers compete for your job; and you get the cheapest one at one transparent flat price — the walk-up carry, the alley-garage load, the COI already in the number. No on-site "estimate," no upsell at the door, no surprise surcharges.
What "built for Chicago" actually means
- We know the stairs and alleys. Vintage 3-flat walk-ups and the rear-alley-and-garage carry are the whole job here — and they're in the flat price, no per-flight fee.
- We know the basement. Unlike a lot of the country, Chicago homes have real basements — decades of storage, and spring water-damage debris when the sump loses. We clear it and sweep it.
- We know the towers. River North, Streeterville, and the West/South Loop want a Certificate of Insurance and a reserved freight elevator — we handle both.
- No sales tax on the service. Illinois doesn't tax services, so your total is lower than the same sticker in New York.
- We speak your language. Spanish across the Lower West and Northwest Side, Polish in the Bungalow Belt, Chinese in Chinatown — on request.
